Editors’ Note:The reborn faiV newsletter is on an every-two-week schedule. Tim Ogden wrote it for years, and it’s been Tim’s baby. But we’re here to provide another set of voices. Don’t worry, Tim will be back in 2 weeks. About us: Laura is FAI’s Deputy Director and, as she writes below, spent years writing and analyzing foreign aid policy. She now lives with her family in northern Italy. Jonathan teaches at NYU and used to write about finance as it connects to poverty. These days, he’s mainly writing about poverty as it connects to finance. - Laura Freschi and Jonathan Morduch

The Not with a Bang but a Parlay Edition
Editor's Note: It’s a new year and a new faiV. I’ll try not to dwell on what precedes that famous line, nor will I spend a lot of time on explanations or apologies. I will note that the gap between this faiV and the last one is 30% smaller than the previous hiatus. But I figured there was limited time to write a few more faiVs before being replaced by Claude Code. The plan for this part of the cycle is to go to twice monthly, with me (Tim) writing once per month and Jonathan and Laura handling the other one. Also of note, we will be shifting away from Mailchimp imminently so stay tuned for details on shifting your “subscription.”
